The contract requires the contractor to develop comprehensive test procedures, design and fabricate test fixtures, perform shock and vibration testing according to specified military standards with particular parameters (5 shock shots at 10 Hz deck frequency and vibration testing at 4-25 Hz), install accelerometers, and submit formal test reports. Award will be made to the vendor submitting the lowest aggregate firm fixed-price quote that is technically acceptable, with evaluation based solely on information submitted in the quotation. The amended solicitation deadline for quote submissions is 4:00 PM EST on January 19, 2026, with all quotes to be submitted via email to Cathleen Emmart at cathleen.m.emmart.civ@us.navy.mil.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractor is identified in the solicitation documents. The period of performance runs from February 6, 2026 through August 7, 2026, providing approximately six months for completion of all testing activities following issuance of the purchase order. The government will furnish all necessary test equipment and items to the contractor, including various integration assemblies, dummy weights, system emulators, and support equipment, eliminating the need for the contractor to procure these components. The place of performance is the contractor's facility, with deliverables and formal test reports to be submitted to the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division located in St. Inigoes, Maryland.
